Sinead O’connor

Sinead O’connor, Sinead O’Connor has said she will marry her fourth husband in a “drive-thru wedding” in Las Vegas on her 45th birthday. The Nothing Compares 2 U singer – who in August declared herself “desperate for sex” and advertised for a man on Twitter, posting a list of requirements on her blog – spoke to The Irish Independent at Dublin Airport on Wednesday just before she and 38-year-old therapist Barry Herridge jetted off to tie the knot.

Sinead said: “Myself and Barry decided to get married in Las Vegas because we wanted a proper rock ‘n’ roll wedding.

“I’ve been married before, but I’ve never had my dream wedding in Vegas. I wanted to do it there because it’s casual, quick, not religious and, most of all, very romantic.”

The mother-of-four revealed she met Barry after he replied to her online ad for a man.

She said: “Barry sent me this wonderful email, which just took my heart away. It had to be him.”
